Pepper is also able to maintain his balance, which stops him from falling if somebody knocks him over.Movement and autonomy : You will be amazed by the flexibility and fluidity of Pepper's movements! His 3 multi-directional wheels enable him to move around freely through 360°, at a maximum speed of 3 km/h. No less than 20 engines (head, arms, back) control his movements with great precision. Lastly, Pepper is equipped with a high capacity lithium-ion battery, giving him approximately 12 hours of autonomy.High Definition vision : Pepper is equipped with two high-resolution cameras as well as a 3D camera enabling him to effectively understand his environment.

These sensors provide him with information about the distance of nearby objects (a range of 3 metres), in addition to his three cameras (two RGB cameras and one 3D camera placed in his head). Another sensor within the battery indicates its level of charge as well as its temperature. Pepper also possesses tactile sensors in his hands, which are used when he is playing games or for social interaction.Linked to the world : For autonomous internet access, Pepper is equipped with wireless connectivity 802.11a/b/g/n.Welcome to the community : A community of developers in Japan and throughout the world is imagining and designing new content for Pepper. The library of applications for this new type of companion is growing and evolving every single day.
